--------------- Description ---------------

This mod will be good for a player who
 - thinks that there is too much ammo in the game,
 - wants to play a level more difficult than Veteran, but dislikes the Nightmare level for some reasons.

In this mod the ammo quantity and the capacity of medkits and armors are decreased by about a half. The damage of some weapons also decreased by 10-20%. The strength of the final boss - Cyberdemon - doubled. In addition, When the game starts you have only 25 health, that makes a sence for numerous medkits in the beginning levels.

--------------- Strategy ---------------

This mod is balanced for the Veteran difficulty, although it can be used with any difficulty level. I suppose that playing this mod on Nightmare will be very difficult.

I hope the following recommendations will be helpful for anyone who has difficulties playing this mod:
 - don't miss dropped items and secret storages, otherwise you will be empty soon;
 - use explosives whenever possible;
 - don't use heavy weapons for slow monsters like zombies, use the pistol or the chainsaw;
 - it is good to use the pistol even for killing strong monsters when they are far away;
 - aim the head whenever possible;
 - don't forget that you can use your flashlight for killing single weak creatures like Trites or Lost Souls.



--------------- Installation and use ---------------

1. Unzip the archive into the Program Files/Doom 3 folder. SaveAmmo folder should appear in the Doom 3 folder.
2. Start Doom 3 as usual, then choose load a mod from the game menu.
3. Select Save Ammo mod and start game as usual.
4. Save your ammo :)
